1 Overview

1.1 Introduction

The Enterprise Grade DIY outdoor Gateway is an ideal product for IoT commercial

deployment. It contains the Main Board, Operator-grade waterproof enclosure, backup

battery and mounting accessories. The hardware main board completely integrates the

WIFI, 4G, GPS and PoE main supply with an integrated back-up battery. The firmware

implements a fully featured LoRaWAN™ complinant network base station. The

Gateway has a range of over 15Km line-of-sight and over 2Km in dense urban

environments.

The DIY Gateway brings more flexiblity for the developer to create an enterprise grade

solution: our most important difference is our flexible development support structure,

allowing for faster development and time to market. We offer both a ready to go

firmware image for openWRT based platforms and an open SDK for integration into

hardware to support the needs of each customer. It can connect the standard NS

(network server) and the local NS. And it also supports the built-in NS(By default, a

license that supports 128 terminals and 5 external gateways is embedded. If your

demand exceeds the above limit, please contact the sales department for a new

license). It does not need users to deploy NS in the cloud and locally, it saves the cost

for server and R&D investment, and has the advantages of high execution efficiency

and shorter delay.

1.2 Main Features

Enterprise grade network gateway with your own configuration.
